Coeymans, NY — There was a major work-related accident reported earlier in July over the Thruway’s Berkshire Spur bridge that spans the Hudson River. A worker who hasn’t been identified was injured after he accidentally fell while working for a painting contractor.
The accident happened on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 at about 11:00 a.m. in the morning.
The worker was on the bridge and doing some painting when he fell to a platform that was about 20 feet below him. He was injured and had to be rushed to a hospital, requiring that the bridge traffic be shut down for nearly 2 hours.
However, it’s not what condition he’s in now and the company he was working for hasn’t been identified, nor have they made any statement about their employee.
